pytest.config from
pytest.config.getoption('nice'): was deprecated in pytest 4.0 and removed from pytest 5.0.
What did work for me was:
def pytest_report_header(config): """Thank tester for running tests.""" if config.getoption("nice"): return "Thanks for running the tests." def pytest_report_teststatus(config, report): """Turn failures into opportunities.""" if report.when == "call": if report.failed and config.getoption("nice"): return (report.outcome, "O", "OPPORTUNITY for improvement") Cheers
